Google announced the end of their Google Maps (Google Maps Engine) by early 2015. After January 29, 2016, the product was disabled and is no longer available.<\/p>\n

Among the different alternatives offered, Google and Esri worked closely together to provide a replacement software as well as training to all users of Google Earth Enterprise and Google Maps Engine technology.<\/p>\n

ESRI, published a free software called \u00ab\u00a0ArcGIS Earth\u00a0\u00bb in December 2015, which is an interesting alternative to the not quite free option of ArcGIS Online. The product is an office application freely available and installable, which enable 2D and 3D visualization easily .<\/p>\n
